TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, MATHIAS HAMBURGER, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a.. new and improved Reversible Chair-Seat; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and enact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 represents a side elevation, partly in section, of my invention.

Figure 2 is a plan or top View, partly in section, of tliesame.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. v

The object of this invention is to so arrange the seats of barbers and other chairs that the same can be reversed so that every new occupant may be provided with a. fresh and cool seat.

The invention consists in pivoting a scat which is cushioned on both sides Between the frame of "the chair, and in arranging a tubular lug at one en'd of' the seat, by means of which it can be fastened in any desired position, the lug either resting upon a stop when in y front, or receiving a supporting-pin when iu rear.

A represents a chair-frame of ordinary or suitable construction. B is the sent, cushioned in any suitable manner ou both sides. It is fitted in its own frame, from the sides of which vtwo pivot-pins a a project. By means of these pins theseat is pivoted to the sides of the frame A, and could revolve therein if a. stop, b, had not been secured to one end of the frame of the seat B, This stop b fits into o. recess provided on the surface of the front bar c of the frame A, if the seat is in the position, shown in tig. 1, while it dts in a recess provided in the surface of the rear bar d of the frame A, if it, is reversed. C is a pin, fitted, through the rear bar d of the frame A, into the seat B, as shown in fig. 1, to secure the saine in its position. When the seat is reversed, the pin C is fitted through the tubular stop-b. The pin-C may also he arranged in the sides of the frame, so as to be near one end ;v but having it in rear is preferable. Two or more stops b may be used in place of the one shown. This same invention may be also applicable to the back and head-rests of chairs, the parts being of similar construction as those herein described.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The reversible seat B, when hinged, by means of pins a a, in the chair-frame A, and when combined with the stop and pin C, all made and operating substantially as herein shown and described.

i MATHIAS HAMBURGER.
